Q: Can I request a drug test and psychological exam for my exes boyfriend who recently moved in with her and my 2yo?
We are about to go to court for an SACPR where the custodial parent has requested a drug screening and psychological exam for me, among many other requests. Am I allowed to request the same of her recently moved in boyfriend? I have concerns because he has a criminal history that includes arrests for domestic violence and violation of protective order. I believe he is the reason she suddenly started denying my court ordered visitation after almost a year with no issues. I have had to file 2 police reports against him. One because he attempted to follow me with his vehicle after I picked my son up. Another was because he confronted me in a parking lot and said that I was about to get shot.
A:
You can request them, but be prepared to pay for them. A basic psychological exam will cost you about $5,000. That will not include any testimony.
The facts asserted by you in your question suggest you likely don’t need them. Your money would be better spent hiring a competent attorney to represent you.
